CVE-2004-2371

Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—💥 Exploit

Multiple Red Storm web-based games, including Ghost Recon 1.4 and earlier, Desert Siege, and The Sum of all Fears 1.1.1.0 and earlier, do not properly check return values from certain functions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang) via packets that contain text strings with incorrect size values.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
Base score: 5

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 3.34%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 88
Score date: 10/7/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
